10,000 sun salutations as part of nationwide yoga marathon

ROCHESTER, MN (KTTC-DT) -- Around the country, many Americans are participating in a yoga marathon. There is no running required, and the purpose is to promote health for humanity.

In Rochester on Saturday, the goal was to perform 10,000 sun-salutations between all those attending. The exercise involves 10 yoga postures, with emphasis on breathing. Around two dozen people attended the event this morning, and the sessions were guided by some of the younger members.

Ajay Singh coordinated the event, and said it's an exercise for the whole family, not just an individual of any particular age.

The Hindu Samaj Temple is located in Northwest Rochester, and has free yoga classes every Wednesday night at 7.
